The Obama Foundation appears to have an income inequality problem, with the former president’s political allies enjoying six-figure salaries while low-paid workers are fighting for union representation.

That’s the conclusion of an exclusive report by Fox News Digital, which tracked the top salary of CEO Valerie Jarrett at $771,000, a number of others in the half-a-million-dollars-a-year range and nearly 200 more pulling in six-figure salaries. Approximate reported top salaries in the 2025 tax filing include:

• Christina Tchen, former chief of staff to first lady Michelle Obama — $431,000.

"Tina Chen" made a courtesy call to Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx when Jussie Smollett alleged that he had been the victim of a racial and homophobic attack in Chicago.

Connect the dots.

The Obama Foundation, however, maintains its construction and operational costs are paid for by revenues and private donations

it does not appear they have a financial endowment, they spent it on the building, so they depend on current cash which has been shrinking................

What does VJ do to earn 800k/year other than scare children on Halloween.

[ealgeone]

Nothing. It’s how dims launder money.

[bigbob]

The Clintons always stiffed the little people too.

[kawhill]

I identify as an Obama. Christina Tchen, former chief of staff to first lady Michelle Obama — $431,000. I want my money.

I can’t wait to see what PDJT’s presidential library will look like.

Jimmy Carter charges $12. https://www.jimmycarterlibrary.gov/

George H.W. Bush charges $12. https://www.bush41library.gov/visit/hours-admission

George W. Bush library seems to be impossible to visit without an appointment and security check. https://www.georgewbushlibrary.gov/research/plan-research-visit

Reagan Library. $16. https://www.reaganfoundation.org/library-museum/plan-your-visit

Obama ‘museum’. $30. https://obama.org/visit/museum-tickets/

Hussein is the first President to make a museum to himself instead of a Presidential Library.

Why, they should pay for the privilege of working for The Obama. At the very least volunteer their time.

[eyeamok]

What type of business was or is Obama in that makes all these millions of dollars?? He aint that smart.

I’ll bet that Jugears still hasn’t paid his black contractors.
When the 0bamaomau Libary opened the contractor was giving interviews complaining about it.

Too bad Bill Clinton didn't plan on putting the mummified Hillary in a museum. Just as is.

But she lived too long so he would have still had the second museum after Obama.
